Methinks that Rob Zombie might be in over his head with this project.
There still isn't an actress announced to play Laurie Strode.
Isn't this supposed to open in August? Eight months away, and they still don't have their lead?

Rob Zombie Defends Halloween Remake
Halloween has gone through the ringer in the last few days as a bunch of blogs run news that the new film is not true to the original. I think that is a blogs job. I think people should speak their minds, put filmmakers on the spot and more importantly help mold filmmaking. It does work. That said I got mad kudo's for filmmakers that dont just sit back and have their films, in this case a film that isnt even made yet, lambasted. Here is Rob zombie's response to earlier criticism of his film by AICN's:
"I notice that so many people get crazy when someone you don't even know posts an opinion about what they think HALLOWEEN will or won't be. This is crazy. Do you really go through life influenced by the thoughts of others that easily?
Anyway, things change so much in a movie, from moment to moment, from second to second that all I can say is : see it for yourself and figure out if you like it or not. Really who gives a fuck what someone else thinks? Everybody likes different shit for differenet reasons. But deciding that you hate or love something that doesn't even exsist yet? Well, that a little ridiculous."

Myers original mask was far more frightening. But this is Zombie, so this has virtually no chance of being worth a damn.
Neither do I. So they got a giant to play Myers. Part of what made Myers frightening is that he was just an ordinary man. That made him more real. Of course this is Zombie's take, so it's obvious what to expect.
McDowell is good casting though. About the best that can be done considering nobody could ever live up to Pleasance.
I don't care for this bit of casting...

I heard he is now not using the original music. Ugh. If you have the Shape, you must have the music.
Excitement level is down but will be there for opening day.
